Bioshock is above everything else for me. But my love for God of War has this high on my list. Probably #2. After watching the first 30mins it looks like they came up with a convincing prequel idea, which was always what had me a little weary. I am hoping for the size, scale and beauty of God of War 3, and the storytelling and gameplay of God of War 2 and Ghost of Sparta.

I still have a little hope for a battle with Apollo as well.

I tried to watch the 30 min gameplay, but it just bored me. I remember the time when GoW3's videos gave me goosebumps. I bought my PS3 with that game in mind. Now, after 5 games, I feel the series just got stale.

I hope this is Kratos' swan song. I will be very dissapointed if Santa Monica's first PS4 title is another GoW game.

I feel this game pretty much confirms God of War 4. If they wanted to end it, they would have killed Kratos and ended the series with 3. I think the main reason this game exist is because it is a bridge until the sequel.

GoW: A feels a bit like Gears of War: Judgment to me. Both awesome series, 2 of my top 3. But these titles seem to be a stop-gap prequel to close out this gen before a new main series next gen launch that EVERYone WILL be seriously excited about!! I think they'll both be good though, just won't feel fresh.

Yeah this prequel feels thought through if you ask me. The first 30 min are extremely epic!

The scale and size of God of War 3 was cool, but I think the graphics looked a little weird at times. There's something to the lighting that makes everything look glimmering in a bad way. The graphics in this one look awesome however!

That would be awesome! But, even as a Swede myself, I think the Greek one is a little cooler. There's something more mysterious and scary about it.

Santa Monica are just too good at making epic hack and slash action games, and they feel like masters at Greek mythology and that feeling right now even though GoW3 lacked a little. I don't want them to start making shooters or something. So if they do stop making God of War games, I hope they make another kind of hack and slash game with something of their own. I have no idea what that could be however.

This industry needs innovation and creativity. I appreciate when developers spread their wings out and try new things instead of staying with what's safe. Look at Insomniac, SP and ND. If they followed the same formula, we'd have never seen Resistance, Uncharted/Last of Us and Infamous this gen. Developers need to know when it's time to let go and move on. It's time for SM to leave Kratos alone or at least take a break and try their hands at something different

While I do agree with you, I think there is so much potential left in God of War. A break could do, but I don't want them to become another studio who makes shooters.

I don't know. I didn't expect them to come up with great ideas for a prequel but they sure seem to have done that. There is alot to do with Greek mythology. The gameplay in Ascension looks so fantastic! With new consoles, they can make things even more grand and epic.
